Call came in from Malaysia

Disney Jungle Cruise boat bumper sticker
Yesterday, May 5, 2015…a cool bumper sticker.

 

Velarie is 12 hours ahead. No big deal. It was 8:45pm last night when she rang my iPhone.

She had Googled “Best HR Management speakers in USA”.

And found me a few weeks ago. We began emailing and finally arranged for last night’s call.

Marcus Evans is a global event company. While speaking to 100 Malaysian Government sector HR executives for free will not work out, perhaps another event with a larger, more profit centered audience will.

Time will tell.

It always does.

“This better work”, Bob Iger said three times to Tom Staggs as one of the Walt Disney Company’s most important modern day meetings concluded.

This better work.

The Fast Company article summarizes what i’ve been saying for years:

There probably hasn’t been a day in the past 10 years where we have not said, “We should have never done this.”

Beginning tomorrow, a new chapter at junglejeff.net:

Aha moments are addicting

Blueberry picking near Disney World
He’s not a nut job, he’s a fruitcake…during yesterday’s 10-miler.

 

He’s a thinker, not a writer.

He writes, but only to get the relentless flow of thoughts on paper.

He’s entertaining, not an entertainer.

His speeches are engaging, but only to allow the audience to deeply experience the insights.

He writes more than he speaks, the same way Usain Bolt trains more than he races.

This post was an aha moment last night.

It’s not a business until…

People are recommending you.

Goodman Speakers Bureau called yesterday wanting to know my availability in May for an Orlando engagement. They have a client wanting a Disney Keynote Speaker. Their client wants me to hold a Tuesday and a Friday, until they decide if they want an opening or closing keynote.

It ain’t over until it’s over. Hopeful this leads to a signed contract, but cognizant there’s no guarantee.
